Abstract
A new theory based on fringing capacitance is proposed for the analysis of microstrip antenna. The source responsible for the radiation is defined in terms of fringing capacitance which is related to the change in area of the patch due to fringing field. The radiation patterns calculated using the proposed method, for rectangular and triangular patches, are in good agreement with the existing theory. The proposed concept provides an alternative tool for the analysis of microstrip patch of any shape.
